Playing poker for a living: live or online, and where is your ideal place to live while playing?

[perrywh]

To have action every day, any time I choose Las Vegas!

I prefer playing live, but lately I haven't had the time and I've been playing mostly online, even playing more tournaments because it's easier to save time.

If I were a professional I would prefer to play live.

Personally I would luve to live in Vienna austria and play professionally online. If also convenient to play all across Europe. It is also supposed to be a great city to live and have a nice life

If you were to play poker for a living, would it be live or online and where would be your ideal place to live and play?

For me, I would lean toward at least 80% live, and it wouldn't be in the desert because I cannot tolerate low humidity so I would have to pass on Las Vegas.

10 years ago, I once tried playing online games. It was a negative experience for me at the gaming table. Maybe I'm not used to emotional pressure. So no, I don't feel capable of becoming a professional player.

I'd probably want to compete in all the big tournaments both online and live. Especially wsop, definitely want to try to get a ring or bracelet.

Best chance then is to move to Vegas.

See you there

If I made a living playing poker, it would be online and the ideal place to live would not just be somewhere, but anywhere there was sun and sea to swim in. Diving in salty sea water is energizing and renewing. I really like it!

In my opinion, it would be about playing poker as a way of life, or playing online poker.

I have no goals to be a professional poker player, but if I was one, definitely I would prefer to be a live player. Like the pros players that travels around the world playing poker.

I’d probably go mostly live too — there’s nothing like reading tells in person... And yeah, desert life is a no-go; I need my skin and sanity intact. Maybe somewhere with poker tables and actual humidity — like a tropical casino paradise! Somewhere on an island!

I believe the best option is to play online. It's possible to play at multiple tables simultaneously, whether it's MTT or cash games. I believe that this option of having a large volume of games and playing many more hands in a short period of time is fundamental to having a good return. Regarding where to live, I would choose a comfortable and quiet place, very close to family, if possible.

If I were to play poker professionally, it would be advisable to play online in a country with favorable tax laws.

For live poker, it would be Vegas, although I would first need to research the tax situation there. I'm not aware of any other location that offers a comparable range of options for poker players.

Ultimately, the question is whether I would even be willing to take such a step:unsicher:?!
